First off, it\u2019s just going to be brutally hot and humid there this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Temperatures above 90 degrees all week with a bit a rain on Wednesday and Friday means there will be a lot of swampass going around, but in all seriousness it\u2019s going to take it\u2019s toll on guys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The course only has two Par 5\u2019s, and they\u2019re both very scoreable so players will have to take advantage of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n I think the winner is going to have to play these in -6 or better this week to have any chance of winning. There are seven Par 4\u2019s at 450+ yards, and the rough is thick, and the fairways are narrow so wayward tee shots will be punished this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Add to that, there are 11 holes with water hazards so there are plenty of ways this course can bite back at players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Accuracy off the tee will be rewarded, and with the greens being some of the smallest on tour, approach shots must be accurate. Tee to Green should be the main stat to look at when predicting success this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nTop 10 Total Strokes Gained Last Three Months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nXander Schauffele 3.37

Humble Brag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Scottie Scheffler<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s been one of the most amazing years for any golfer, but I think this week Scheffler has a letdown. He won the Olympics, and was emotional about it, and there really isn\u2019t much on the line for him this week as he\u2019s up almost 2,000 points on 2nd place Xander Schauffele, and he\u2019s up 3400 points on 3rd place Rory McIlroy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n In order for Schauffele to pass him this week, Schauffele would have to win and Scheffler would have to get arrested again, and not let out, and I don\u2019t think that will happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Scheffler has finished 31st and MC the last two years at this course, and last year this was his worst finish of the year. This is a classic letdown spot for him after an emotional Olympics win with not a lot on the line for him this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Ludvig Aberg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nI\u2019m out on him for the rest of the playoffs as he only has one top 10 finish in his last five tournaments, and he\u2019s priced as a Top 6 guy this week. He missed the cut at The Open, and then finished 18th at the Olympics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n His tee to green has been good, but his numbers putting and around the green have been awful the last three months (+0.11 strokes gained putting, +0.01 around the green), and with these small greens that he\u2019s never played on, I won\u2019t be betting on him this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nMackenzie Hughes $6200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nHughes came through as a Draftkings Darling for us last wee finishing 28th and getting us solid weekend points so I\u2019ll go back to him at this insanely low price. His upside is a bit limited, but there\u2019s nobody around this price I would rather have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Cameron Davis $6800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nDavis missed the cut last week, but he had been pretty good before that and he likes this course. He\u2019s finished 6th and 13th the last two years here so at $6800 I\u2019ll take the upside with him after an off week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Davis Thompson $7400<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nThompson was a guy we profited off of last week, and I think he\u2019s in line for a good finish here. He finished 46th at The Scottish Open and 66th at The Open Championship, but he\u2019s finished 12th, 1st, 2nd and 9th at his last four tourneys in the US. We cashed on him last week, I think we can do it again this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Rest Of Lineup: Russell Henley $9100, Corey Conners $9100, Xander Schauffele $11,400<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n **************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nMake sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30710"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30963,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30710\/revisions\/30963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
